A section of  leaders have  criticized the county government of  Uasin Gishu for the now usual habit of temporally  closing the Busy Eldoret-Uganda highway ,a  major maritime gateway to East Africa and most of the hinterland countries in order to allow residents follow up sporting and  important events from the County’s big  screen.

Taking up to various social media platforms  the leaders  drawn from various institutions including the clergy now claim the county’s big screen has  continued to encourage misuse of  public  funds by the county government,

“Where in the CIDP (County integrated development  plan) did the Uasin Gishu residence plan for the expenditure and blockage of  the international road (Eldoret-Uganda )  to allow people follow up live events?” Paused Rev Simion Kogey.

The statement further  claims such a move although it  can easily be translated as a sign of  patriotism and  support to Kenya’s finest in the world of athletics, its neither economical nor  ethical  to block transportation on the busy  international highway,leaders should seek an alternative.

“Arranging seats and erecting a dias on the busy highway has a huge negative economic impact across many countries not only in Kenya ,this  should be  discouraged”He  added.

The Eldoret-Uganda Highway forms part of  the Kenya Northern Corridor  an important transport route to the East and Central Africa countries of Burundi,Eastern DR Congo, Rwanda, South Sudan and Uganda.

The inefficiencies of the upstream transport corridor anchored from the port of Mombasa affects social-economic prosperity of National and regional economies.
